Getting ready to power up my First Q that finally arrived and after putting it in the box I hooked up my DMM to ensure I wired it correctly and it is reading.75 ohms. I ordered the dual 2 ohm so I could run at 1. Amp is a PPI 1800BK which is 1ohm stable. Should I be concerned?
From the sub? I cant use it from the door speakers as the head unit has a crossover and sends lows to the sub only. I was trying to avoid going about it this way as I know the factory amp will increase distortion. If I can eliminate it I would like to.
I have a 2010 Ford Explorer with the Audiophile system and Nav. It has a factory installed 8 in. sub that is sounds like crazy. Today my PPI Bk 1800.1D arrived and I want to start getting everything hooked up so when the Fi Q comes in I will be ready to go. Here is the problem.
I would...
I like the CT Sounds especially with the voltage indicator base nob with clipping light, however it is 1400 watts and over $400. The PDF BK1800.1d is only $195. Is there really that big of a difference between the two amps to support paying double?
Any online stores that sell soundqubed or CT Sounds? I like the idea of the clip no light on these however I haven't had any luck finding anyone who sells them... Also, think I'll be OK with just the big 3 and the replacement battery?
So the PDF BK1800.1d looks like the winner. Just want to make sure you guys think I will be OK on electrical with a big 3 and switching out to a red top Optima. I really don't want to fry my alternator.... Or should I be looking at an amp that costs a bit more?
Open for suggestions. I am a bit of a book here and could use the input. What would you recommend? I don't mind spending some cash, however I do want to keep it as cheap as possible. Does the amp make that much of a difference?
I should also add this is going in a 2010 v6 Explorer and I am planning on adding a cap but no additional electrical system upgrades. Think I'll be OK?
